For a seat in MIT, you need to work extremely hard to build your profile. You must demonstrate ability to do research, think critically and creatively. You must have impeccable academics, and diverse extracurricular activities demonstrating a significant level of engagement in them. All that said, you must understand that only 2-3% of Indian applicants get accepted at colleges like MIT. Work hard.

Dear Shahrukh,
It's not easily to get admission in MIT, Stanford, CalTech or Harvard etc. You need to be excellent in your field. What docs you need is, your graduation certificates, LORs, SOP, entrance Score (GRE/GMAT and IELTS if required). Firstly, apply for entrance exam, they will send you that marks to that university. (You need to apply for your side). And if they found you eligible, they will revert back to you.

Hi,
Be a brilliant student, not only academics but an all rounder. Show your skills in innovative work, projects, extracurricular activities etc. Try to be unique. The will be thousands of applicants probably having a stronger profile tha you so prepare with careful work. For admission purpose take SAT or ACT. You did not say what you want to study hence assuming you are applying for Bachelor's.

For which course? If you are applying for UG programs the specific criteria depends from faculty to faculty. But, overall you must be a highly academic student with extremely good grades, 85% and above is preferred. In addition you must have a high SAT or ACT score. Not only must you be good in academics you must also demonstrate all-round skills, extracurricular activities are quite important. MIT is among the most competitive universities in the world and you have to compete with some of the most the strongest applicants.

Good question Arnav, see there is no straight answer to this. Every individual has his strong and weak points you have to be distinct on your own. Since MIT is the other name of innovation that is one area you should focus on. Outstanding project is a must. Physics has wide scope for this. Write in journals, get hold of top notch professors and work with them. Broaden your perspective, see how you can apply physics and where. Apart from academic does a good amount of community work and engage in your hobbies. Applying to MIT does not mean you should keep studying 24 hours. Be an all-rounder.

MIT is the best university in the world today. The admission process of MIT is holistic that means they don't want to see only your score. They are interested in the overall profile of a student. To get admission in MIT, you have to do your best in all the aspects of your life. They see your academic record, extracurricular activities, essay, SAT and TOEFL scores, and midyear reports. After submitting the application, you have to submit a CSS form in February which is for the financial aid. If they're thinking about you then they don't see to your financial situation. According to your information which you have mentioned in the CSS fo
